After seeing MikeDB's fantastic bottle I was inspired to try making my own. I have a couple of traditional ones made by Eric but they only hold a pint and I wanted something that would hold about 2 litres.
Here is my attempt. I have based the shape on one I have seen Wayland with
Like Mike's my bottle has at its heart a Platypus bottle. In my case a 2 litre bottle. these are guaranteed for life and meant to withstand boiling and freezing so should be sturdy enough for my purposes.
The cap is a piece of roughly carved pine. It is a bit large for my liking but making it smaller would probably lead to it splitting.
I plan to make a leather cover for a push pull lid I have for the bottle but this is still in the planning stages.
